When one thinks of Sarah Jessica Parker the first thing that comes to mind of course is sex.

For years we've enjoyed her iconic performance as the most fabulous journalist in TV (and later movies!). Through most of the last decade she made a name for herself as a great comedic actress, bold producer and fashion icon.

Today she turns 45 and what better way to celebrate her than to indulge in the sheer joy of her style?

Therefore, if an image is worth a thousand words, I give you 45,000 words that express why we love SJP.

How will you celebrate what should ideally be International Fashion Day?How excited are you about the Sex and the City sequel?

I think she's so sexy but then, I am the sort who finds personal style more attractive than generic good looks whether we're talking men or women. (not that i don't appreciate perfect looking people. obviously this blog indicates that i do!)

but i think i get your point as to SEX & THE CITY. the self-made New Yorker is such a great and perma-fantasy about the city and she lands that so well, becoming such an icon of style and femininity despite the fact that she is not "traditional"

I adore SJP, and I wish she'd take on more daring work instead of going thru the Jennifer Aniston path. I remember when S&TC was this secret, this show only few people knew about, sort of indie and the clothes didn't really intrude with the story as much. Now it's turned into a cash cow and it's integrity has vanished. Whereas at the beggining of the show we had independent women, confident and insecure but nonetheless survivors of love, now it's just a bunch of older capitalist women who can't live without a man and that splurge in Loboutins while the rest of the world is in dire straits.

On one hand, why do we need a sequel? (Hell, why did we need the first movie?!) On the other hand, the first one ended on such a perfect note. (Of course Carrie Bradshaw should marry Big in a label-less dress at City Hall.) But what will they do for an encore? Break up Carrie & Big AGAIN?! Moreover, Ab Fab already went to Africa, so I don't see how the Fab Four can top them.

Anyway...back to SJP, the divisive reaction she elicits is interesting to me. Most females, as well as gay men, natch, if not love her, at least respect her, true beauty or no. Straight men, meanwhile, not only don't fancy her, they're vitriolic in their distaste. I'm in the minority who thinks she is pretty and has a *fantastic* figure, one of the most proportionally lovely in Hollywood. Oh well, to each their own!
